The coming Yachtine season

The interest in yachting, which has been
so great in this country during the last two
seasons, is not likely to abate during the
coming season. AS the season opens, the
interest promises to be greater even than
ever before. Right at the beginning the
ocean race Of the Coronet and Dauntless has
been an event almost equal, in the interest
with which It was watched, to the contests Of
the Genesta and Galatea for the Americas
cup. In June 1t is expected that the May
flower will 60 to England. there to contest
with the hest yachts Of England over the
famous course on which the old America
won the cup so many years ago. Then, at
the very end of the season, there will be
another contest in the defence of the Ameri-
cas- cup. As in the last two series Of races,
the New York Yacht Club course win be
the scene of the trial, and the challenger
will be boat from over the water, this time
Scotch yacht. The Thistle, as the new
yacht is appropriately named, has been
built with great secrecy on the Clyde this
winter, and it was not until this week that
the dimensions, with the challenge, were
received by the New York Yacht Club.
The owners Of the Thistle think they have
struck in their yacht the happy combination
OF all the qualities which swift boat should
have. A leading yachtsman of England,
Lord Brassy, explained the defeat of the
Galatea by showing the differences in the
displacements and sail areas of the two
yachts. The Mayfower spread 5000 square
feet Of canvas, which was 1854 feet more
than the sail area Of the Galatea. In the
opinion of English experts this difference in
area of canvas was important in races in the
light winds that prevail on most summer
DAYS off Sandy Hook. So Mr.. Watson, the
designer of the Thistle. has given her hull a
depth and beam that will probably enable
the cutter to carry more sail area than any
Yacht of that class afioat. Accepting the fig
ures In the American Yacht List as accurate,
the water line Of the Thistle is the same as
that of the Mayfower-eighty-fye feet, and
is five feet longer than that Of the Puritan.
When it comes to beam, the Thistle will
have twenty feet and three inches, as against
the twenty-three feet Of the Puritan. Both
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1887-04-01

the Galatea and the Genesta have breadth
OF only fifteen feet-fve and fraction less
than MIR. Watson has given his new cutter.
And the Thistle is not only five feet wider
than these two cutters, but she is eleven
inches deeper than the Galatea. She is five
feet eight inches deeper than the Puritan.
Those who have studied these dimensions
are of the opinion that the Thistle will be
much better boat in moderate winds and
light airs-the weather that is most likely to
preyail-than either the Genesta or the
Galatea.
''What boat are the Americans to put
against tis formidable Stranger" is ques-
tion now often asked. The challenge names
the first of October as the time for the trials.
Mr. Bell, the owner of the Thistle wants
five races, but the New York Yacht Club
viii consent to only three. Whether .he
Mayfower, if she goes to England, will be
back in season to defend the cup in these
races is a question. If she is not the duty
will devolve on the Puritan or some new
yacht, and it is thought that the Puritan will
probably be superior to any new yacht that
can be made between now and summer.
Whatever boat defends the cup, the interest
will be greater than in the races
with the Galatea, for she was very early
thought to be inferior to the vanquished Ge-
nesta, while the Thistle is heralded as SUI
perior to both.

WOMEN OF THE TURF.
The Duchess of Montrose RivaIled
by Capable American Sisters.
New York Mail and Express

New York Mail ana Express
Mrs George L. Lorillard will return from
Europe in time to look after the general
management of her stable of thoroughbred
race horses during the spring, summer and
autumn, and it is moral certainty that she
will be on the grand stand at Sheepshead
Bay in June when the greatSuburban Handi
cap will be decided. Mrs Lorillard will race
in her own name this year. Last year she
ran her thoroughbreds in the name of the
Locust stables, called after the Locusts of
Eatontown, N. j., where the Lorillard stock
farm and training grounds are situated The
determination of Mrs. Lorillard to race in her
own name is likely to work an epoch in turf
history on this side Of the A tlantic. The
Duchess OF Montrose has made herself IA
nous on the turf in England, and Mrs. Lor-
lizards example here is to be followed by
Mrs. Harriet Brown, of Holmdel, N. j.. and
other women who love the keen sport and
excitement Of the turf. Mrs Lorillard will
have formidable stable.
1t is not generally known that Mrs Loril-
lard maintains personal supervision of the
expenditure at her stock and training farm at
Eatontown. She goes further and buys the
hay, oats and other feed necessary for her
thoroughbred stock, hires trainers, Jockeys
and other help, watches the development of
her equine pets, keeps posted on the doings
of thoroughbreds in other racing establish
ments, arranges for accurate information
about new and old stakes and names the
classic turf events in which she wishes to
have her race horses entered. She is thor
oughly in love with the turf. Her interest
in it began two years ago, and the late Mr.
Lorillard would have retired from racing,
owing to his ill health, had it not been for his
wife's enthusiasm. Mrs. Lorillard knows
all the ms and outs of her extensive estab-
lishment at Eat0nt0wn, and there is not a
penny spent without her sanction
The entries for the classic Withers furnish
the modest announcement that Speedway,
chestnut colt by Attila-Bettina, and Squan-
do, brown colt by Attila-The Squaw, are
entered by Mrs. III. Brown. The lady is the
widow of William Brown. horseman and
trainer, who owned an extensive farm about
two miles from Holmdel, N. j., The farm
comprises about 124 acres, and when Mr..
Brown died his widow undertook to manage
IL. She has done so with great success.
Mrs. Porter Ashe, wife of the San Fran
cisco lawyer, will, it is said, also go upon the
turf Her husband was fairly successful in
1885 and 1886, and very few who were at
Sheepshead Bay on Thursday, September II,
1885, will forget the joyous scene when Por-
ter Ashes colt Alta defeated Che Californian
champions, Hidalgo and Volante, in a special
race at a mile and three-quarters. There
were chicken and plum pudding for the
stable boys that night.

History of Norway. DIR. William b. lap
hams centennial history of the town of
Norway is a pretty royal octave of $50 pages,
neatly bound in cloth, with golden bear on
the front cover. 1t is well printed by Brown
Thurston & Co, and illustrates with photo
types, nine Of which are Of buildings, and
thirty-six portraits. OF the portraits given,
five will be recognized as Of Portland peo-
pie. DR.. Lapham's work is always valuable,
instructive and entertaining, and there is SO
much material in this volume, that space
will only allow reference to points of es-
pecial interest. 1t must not be forgotten
that in 1854 David Noyes published history
of the town, which contained much valuable
information derived from the early settlers.
Norway had no first settler, like most towns,
for there were seven of him, which is very
gratifying TO know, for change. Neither
were they alone in bowling wilderness for
long years, but had neighbors comfortably
settled in towns about them. Norway al
ways has been lucky town and has its lines
cast in comfortable places. Within the first
TWO or three years their water power en-
sured them grist and saw mills, and life
went smoothly with them.
Norway is remarkable for having turned
early toward Universalism, a society of that
denomination having been formed in 1799
Among It's pastors have been B. b. Murray,
father Of our former United States Marshal,
John l.. Stevens, afterwards Minister to
Sweden, Timothy j. Tenney, Russell Street
er, and j. A. Seitz, editor of the "New Re-
ligion."

So far as we have observed there is no dis
position on the part of the railroads to do
otherwise than comply with the provisions
OF the interstate commerce law. There
will doubtless be great many points raised
by them for the commission to rule upon,
but this fact does not imply hostility. The
law is admitted by its more earnest advo-
Gates to be on many points obscure and am
biguous, and until these obscurities are
cleared up it win be impossible for the roads
to know certainly when they are keeping
and when breaking the law. These ques-
tions therefore are pertinent Indeed they
are absolutely necessary.

Cholera has appeared thus early in Hun
gary, and naturally there is much alarm in
consequence. Recent yisitations OF the dis
ease on the continent have, however, caused
a considerable cleaning up of the large cities
and towns and their sanitary condition is
much better than few years ago, and con-
seQuently the danger of the disease spread
ing is much diminished.

MEDICAL REGISTRATION IN NEW YORK.

For several years the physicians of the
State have been endeavorng to secure the
ADOPTION OF more stringent laws to regulate
admission to the practice of medicine. For
two years bill, upon which representative
physicians of the three large schools of medi-
cine were virtually agreed, has been intro
duced. One year the bin passed the assem-
bly,, but was not reached in the Senate, and
last year this experience was reversed. The
bill, introduced by Senator Connolly and
Assemblyman Hamilton. is now pending in
both houses. 1T is sincerely to be trusted
that it may become a law, and that delay,
which has twice defeated it, be not tolerated
as the method to defeat it again. The dan
gers to which the community is exposed
through the experiments of the ignorant up

be dwelt upon. Among tho rich such men

Frederick Warne & Co., of New York and
London, have just published new edition
of Nuttal's Standard Dictionary Of the Eng
fish Language. Some important improve
ments and additions are made in this edi-
ton. The arrangement with few excep-
tions, is strictly alphabetical, only abstract
nouns and adverbs being grouped with the
adjectives they come from. Words of diff
ferent deriyations are kept distinct and de-
fined separately. The vocabulary has been
extended so IS to include new words that
have come into use in science, literature and
common parlance, and only those words that
have fallen into complete disuse have been
omitted. Great pains have been taken to
make the definitions of words clear, concise
and adequate An entirely new feature of
the work is the etymology the roots of words
being printed uniformly in italics. in brack-
cts, and the language Of the root specified.
The phonetic system of pronunciation
is applied to every word in the vocabulary.
To this edition has been added list of
classical names with their accentuation, and
list of geographical names with their pro-
nunciation. The list of foreign phrases has
been extended and carefully revised, as also
has the list of authorizations. An entirely
new feature of the edition is the illustra
tions which are numerous and helpful The
book is a model of its kind and its cheap
ness, $1.50 for the edition bound in cloth
and $3.50 in half morocco, puts valuable
work within the means of everybody.
